Thank you for being here!! Leave a comment and let us know what you think about this series, and give us your suggestions for future videos!! 🤩
I was watching the video while my 18mo old labradoodle was sleeping. When Zak made the burrito squeek my pup jumped up and went searching for his burrito ( we have the same toy) When he found it he brought it back to me and I had to pause the video for a play session.
Oh such a good puppy.
You know that burrito has a toy inside if your dog ends up tearing it open!
Aww cute
What I would actually really like to see next is you training with an adult chihuahua. Like a cliche angry little chihuahua. I feel like, even tho people see them as beginner dogs (maybe because of their size), they’re quite hard to train.
yes this would be a great video!
He can have mine in training haha. Two year old and very reactive to EVERYTHING. Dogs, bikes, cars, people. But I'm working with him with a positive trainer who's certified. It's hard, but he's progressing. If he was a big dog though, I would have a very dangerous dog.
Ive had many dogs. He is the tiniest one I ever had and the most 'dog' I ever had. I've never experienced a dog so difficult.
I alsmost rehomed him because I couldn't handle his reactive behavior. At home he was great, but walks were mostly me having to have eyes like a hawk, and crying. I was so stressed and I didn't know how to help him not being so stressed all the time. My insecurity made him ten times worse. But then I found a positive trainer and we are finally on our way to becoming a team. His behavior has changed so much and I have changed too
Ooooh good idea.
I’ve trained a few chihuahuas since I foster them and the biggest difference I see in Moira is that they do not see playing as much as a reward. They pretty much only like treats (maybe pets) and since they are small even then they can get full fast and get disinterested in the treats. Moira catches on so quickly tho! I would love to see training with a more stubborn breed.
I have the perfect one for him lol
Finally, a dog like mine. I am ecstatic to see these videos. At home, Sully is an absolute gem, but out in public......ohhh noooo.....When my little sweetheart sees another dog, he completely loses it. There is no reasoning with him, there is only holding on for dear life and getting him out of the situation. It has become even worse after a terrible altercation with another reactive dog. And i’m 100% sure my apprehension at seeing dogs translates right to him and makes it worse. I will follow this case closely. Thank you, Zac. You are helping me to be a better dog owner.
Agree !
I having the exact same problem, but with a 2year old Belgian Malinois. I'm just at vid one. Cheers
We have a similiar problem.My dogs actually a service dog in training.We don't have money so I'm using these to train.My baby is amazing at alerting and bringing my meds but if he see's a person or animal he just goes crazy, barking jumping biting.I want to be able to take him in public where I need him most instead of never leaving the house at 15 years old so these videos are amazing
Couldn't have put it better myself!
Do you have a partner who can operate a drone in an almost deserted area?
I love his show and thisjust summarizes and lays out all of the basic methods he uses on the show. What i love about this guide th-cam.com/users/postUgkxKkYeOoCV_w2vPX0CSyVWkhew2c4FYk0d is that you don' need to read the whole book cover to cover ... You can skip to the chapter (lesson) you want to read about. The book is arranged almost as a problem-solving guide ... Here is the problem and here is what you need to know/do to correct it. This man knows his stuff ... But more importantly knows how to teach people how they can work with their pups themselves!
Thank you for doing a series with a dog like Moira. It’s so refreshing to see the training and behavior challenges that I can relate to and see how you work through them!
I entirely agree! I have a dog JUST like Moira and I've been desperate for a series like this
Moira is so much like my 7 month old Husky; high energy, smart... yet stubborn. I'm hoping all your lesson advice works.
i dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know a method to get back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid forgot the password. I would love any help you can offer me!
Mcmillian is incredible! We watch his show lucky dog and can't believe what a selfless helping person he is. The book th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfKlzfzw0sMZ_RgZNzMeOPu6d4b5i5XWl has his training methods from both the show and new tricks i had not heard until i got the book. Simple dog psychology and pointers to make the methods stick. Great insight to the thinking of dogs. There is so much more we know now about our dogs. Fear in training no longer apply. I cannot say enough about this book and it's author.
To me, it is so reassuring to see that Zak struggles too with training Moira. It shows me that it is normal to struggle, ad that it is a normal process to experience.
I am loving this series! Even though my puppy does not have almost all of these problems, it still helps with everything and patience.
Of course!!😁❤
PS- Lucy (gsd 7 month Rescue) is working hard along with Moira. She has learned Let Go, watch me- make eye contact, crawl is in progress, and working on shake (trying to keep with with Moira here 😅). We have been acclimating to pups and working on reactivity by watching the neighborhood dogs go by from our porch.... and munching on chicken😂.
lemme just take a moment to appreciate what work Zak has been doing! Thank you so much man! i love your approach towards the dogs! lastly i have to say this, in a world where everyone was trying to be Cesar Millan... be a ZAK GEORGE... love you buddy, god bless you and your family
I appreciate that!
🥳🎉🌈🙌🔥
I think there is probably a lot to learn from all trainers.
These longer clips are great.
@@wendydaniel6857 But more to learn from some than others :)
Wholesome comment, omg🥰
People who get energetic dogs need to see this show! Not only does it give you a good idea of what happens if you don't begin training early but it also shows people that it is never too late to start training.
So much yes to this!
I have a German sheperd/blue heeler mix. She is JUST like this dog. Very reactive with other dogs (she was attacked by our neighbor dog as a 4 month old puppy). She is very hard to calm around strange dogs she sees or hears, but can get along with new dogs in a VERY controlled environment. She knows her basic commands, but once you take her outside, she won't listen and won't take treats. I am very glued to this series, I want to help her, I just don't know how. Thank you so much for making this!
This really shows Zaks great personality and experience
Totally, totally relatable. Two steps forward, huge step back. I'm slowly learning some tricks to prevent being over threshold for my pup. He is fearful of car rides because it reminds him of the sound of the plane ride he had when he was younger, so by the time we get to our destination he is so wound up from anxiety and excitement that he starts screaming his head off on the top of his lungs. Work in progress!
Its really cool that you still have a positive attitude towards it though!
I would reinforce the second he calms down.. and build on that with lots of patience.
Recently rehomed a 1 year old border collie with some of the same issues as Moria. He has improved a lot in the week we have had him. Watching this series has been helpful as well as previous vids. Thank you.
Hi Zak! The engagement and viewership of this series has been insane and your recent grown as a TH-camr is well deserved! It’s not that your previous training series weren’t helpful- they were and I learned a lot about dog training from watching- but with this series, I finally see myself in your video. I hope this isn’t taken the wrong way but, seeing a professional run into the same obstacles I do as a new dog owner is very reassuring as a new dog owner. I can’t wait to see how Moira has evolved in the time you two have had together!
This Zak George guy is genuinely the best dog trainer ive ever watched. Wow.
Great watch. As someone with a Malinois this dog just looks like a ton of fun. Not a training nightmare she would be a riot in the right home.
Our rescue is just like this. It was very comforting to hear you talk about how the over threshold stuff can be overwhelming. I had a little cry the other day when our rescue was over threshold on a walk (we got into a multi dog situation I couldn’t get distance from). It takes a lot of patience and understanding and not everybody can see that you’re trying your best to manage. This series is so helpful!
Omg this is my dog exactly! She wasn’t even a rescue , we got her as a puppy but with the lockdown we didn’t get to socialize her to other people or pets… I’ve got my work cut out
Rule number one in dog training: Never give up! ♥️
We just brought a Germanian Shepsky home and this series has REALLY helped me already! He’s 11 weeks old tomorrow and by using the lure I’ve already got him doing the “Down” command! Thank you for all your time and effort that goes into your channel!!!!
Zaaaak! I am love, love, loving this! I fostered a German Shepherd that was found abandoned at 4 weeks. She is part of the family now and at 11 months, looks just like Moira. As we go through this journey with you, Bree and Moira, we are picking up some great techniques to add to our training tool box! Thanks so much for helping Moira and us too!
Finally!! Now I can impress my hooman with some new tricks and get all the treats 😂😂
Hi from Norway 🇳🇴👋🏻 Zak’s series with dog training are the best. We have a well trained flatcoated retriever because of him. And - I am so impressed that he never says NO to the dog; Zak turns everything to something positive instead. Thank you, Zak 🙏
I say “no” sometimes🤔 But I try to make it a constructive “no” rather than a disciplinary “no” if that makes sense. True though, that the emphasis should be on what a dog is doing right and to build from there! So glad you like the video!
Louis,my Flatcoat was also trained with his advice. Real gold for people like me, who always had dogs as a kid, but now own my very first own dog
Zak is an excellent trainer for teaching "wanted" behaviors. However, dogs should be corrected for potentially dangerous "unwanted" behaviors such as: counter-surfing, lunging, jumping, and dog, people, and/or children on bikes reactivity. In short, "positive only" training will not correct or manage unwanted behaviors practically nor efficiently when you need it. If a dog owner doesn't say "No" to their dog and correct dangerous behavior with balanced training, that owner's dog becomes a threat to other responsible dog owners. My dog has been attacked by irresponsible and unrealistic dog owners such as yourself, and your comment reads misguided at the very least. These short and edited videos in controlled environments are not an accurate representation of dogs that have reactive issues and are over threshold. It is a 24/7 issue that has overwhelmed and impacted owners in a big way. Correction should be immediate and consistent. Unwanted behavior outbursts are distressing for the owner in an impactful way. A rainbow and sunshine approach to correcting reactive behavior doesn't get it done. I know this from experience!
@@SAMMYTASTISCH ...this is so nice to hear - just like me; first dog ‘on my own’ and I wanted to do it right and I think I did (a lot thanks to Zak’s advice) an always happy and positive flatcoat - well behaved 😂 full of life - always ready to learn more.
@D M, the problem with "No" is that many dog owners do not offer any "correct" behaviour for their dog to do instead of the unwanted one, nor do they have enough bond with the dog or at least a physical control over it. The focus of the positive reinforcement (as shown on this channel) is on building the bond while teaching the dog an easy, low input/high reward thing to do, and then using it *together with* prohibition. It surely is not about letting a 100+ lb puppy interact with the world unsupervised. Also, I am sorry for your experience with ignorant doggos and their people
Can we just take a minute to admire whoever made this intro? It's so fucking good.
I know you touched base on the demand barking but would love even more in-depth. My puppy is a demand barker and it’s so hard not to get frustrated and we live in an apartment... hard to find full training videos on it.
My dog is also a demand barker, he has many problems and most are my fault
Really looking forward to how you train her not to lunge at other dogs. Thats the problem I have at the moment wirth mine.
Go to punkassdogtrainer on tictoc his methods helped me and my corgi with in days
Same with my German
I got my dachshund puppy during the Kona series. Cannot express how much it really was my new puppy survival guide. Signed up and downloaded the 30 day perfect puppy course. Everyone always tells me how impressed they are of how well behaved she is for being so young. Even though I don't have an older dog with behaviors to work through, will always watch and like every video to support the channel and what you guys are doing. :)
Oof, our 1 year old springer was like this on leash. We've spent a lot of time on teaching her more appropriate behavior. And we've been lucky that she's learned quickly. But, we live in our condo. She's still having some "over threshold" behavior when we're in our condo building. 9/10 times we leave our unit, we don't see anyone. So it's the 1 time it does happen, there's barking (less now, but still barks), and sometimes the excited lunging. We're trying to work through this, I know it scares her when there's a person all of a sudden, but I know it scares the neighbors too! Anyways, excited to see how Moira's barking and loose leash walking goes!! And I'm thrilled you're doing this with a rescue dog!
hi zak
what happened to your hair style?
A dual-clip leash is a HUGE benefit with an over-threshold dog. 99% of the time, you walk normally, but those times that the dog goes over threshold, you take a firm hand on the end that's clipped onto the front of the harness/onto the collar, and turn the dog away from the thing that's sending them over threshold. The key to regaining control of a reactive dog is to regain their attention..and you can't do that from behind them. It's extremely important to be able to turn them away from the trigger. I have a 70LB lab that reacts to dogs like Moira does. Or he used to. With the help of dual-ended leads, I trained him to pay attention to me instead of dogs.
I like to take the "nothing is free" approach with my dog, too. So I make her lay down when I prepare her meal or make her sit while I put on her leash.
This gives me so much comfort. I have worked SO HARD with my husky shepherd mix and I feel still so far behind on certain behavior training. It's comforting to know even professional trainers admit it is a LOT of work.
❤️❤️🙌
I'm interested to see how you're going to reduce the reactivity and keep her in a calmer state of mind around other dogs.
Me too!🤔😂
I can't wait either! My pooch is so reactive towards other dogs while on leash. It can be so frustrating and discouraging!
Me too! Also, how to get them to not jump on people or kids when they're not that crazy about food. Mine isn't that interested and doesn't jump when I bring the food. 😐 That aside, great video and good, challenging dog! Loving it! Thank you, Zak! ❤
@@zakgeorge then give the dog to a proper trainer! You NEED to correct that bad behavior before you make the fucking dog worse🤬
@@1cbrracer this series is complete, not to give a spoiler but... she might not get worse 🤫
Moira is so beautiful! As an owner of an energetic German Shepherd myself I can learn so much from this series, thank you Zak!♥️
Thank you too!
We all thank you for this content, Zak! 🙋♂️
This is the type of series I would watch all the episodes in a single go!! Loving this series so much❤
Moira is such a beautiful and smart dog. I am glad she is getting a 2nd chance and training to make her a good dog companion for someone. Time and effort well spent.
moira seems like she would love agility!
Exactly what I thought!!
Exactly! Also seems like a great way to practice those beautiful jumps safely, much like chewing a toy vs a hand or a boot.
I can't help wondering if she'd make a good police dog (or working dog of some sort). She seems to respond so well to training and bonding with a human and has lots of drive.
I'm so glad you started this series. I have a pitbull puppy whose about her age and has similar issues. She's pretty good on walks and is easily managed, but dog parks and getting her into doggie daycare without jumping up on people and pulling me are a challenge. And there are no professional dog trainers in our area. Seeing something this relatable gives me so much hope for my future with my Talulah Belle 💕
Responsible bully breed ownership and dog parks don’t go together...
@@bankimoon5698 Why not? If you were a responsible handler your dog would be great around other dogs no matter which breed you train.
@@durkadur27 dogs parks in general are dangerous doesn't matter if your dog is super friendly and trained. People are irresponsible and bring in THEIR untrained dogs which ends in dog fights or worse; death. It's not worth it and most good trainers recommend daycares instead since they test dog's temperaments.
@@flxwercxrpse1871 /whoosh
Never ever go to dog parks. AKA fight club for dogs! unless testing obediance outside it. Never take others owners training for granted. You'd be suprised the amount of owners that don't have solid recall or high energy/nervous dogs and can't read the behaviour and there let loose, perfect recipe for a fight. Look at the mess Zak is making of this dog.
This is literally my rescue just a whole lot more biting. Like a lot more biting
This is about every1's rescue.. In some cariation or another
@@Rev3rence is
Yes exactly. My rescue was a young adult dog with no training. Puppy training videos helped but were not as relevant to the situation. But the play biting....have you found a way to curb that? I have only managed to correct by about 60% still trying to figure out the last 40%
Mary Wigle I personally have not been able to do it very well. I think it definitely helps when I give her (a GSD) huge praise when she’s playing rough with her toys. I think it helps her understand that’s what she’s supposed to bite. That being said.... she still just about tips my foot off every time she has to poop
@@marywigle9668 i've adopted a rescue from another family (which couldn't handle him and just made it worse tbh). For play biting every time he'd start, I'd become instantly boring and catch his muzzle and close it for a second or 2. Then start playing again, as long as his teeth weren't on me i was fine with it. once he'd put his teeth on my hand again I'd do it all over again. I think he stopped after 1 week. Some dogs might take it as part of the play though so it is inportant to make it "outside" of the game cycle by dropping the game first.
I'm never afraid of being physical with my dog since body language is about the best thing they understand, but I also never cause pain.
P. S. Editted - omg sausage for fingers.
Yes! I loved seeing Moira over threshold just like my own reactive pups! She is so smart and easy to teach (also like mine). I’ll be so interested to see if you can conquer that reactivity in two weeks 🤣 it took us a year to conquer one of my dog’s people reactivity, and we are still working with the other on cars. It was good to hear you say “one step forward, two steps back”...it feels like we go through that all the time. But it’s so worth it. I am absolutely loving this series!
Zak George: I've been watching Cobra Kai.
Me: *almost spits coffee on computer" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
fr
Girl!!! Same!!😂🤣😂🤣😂 Tries not to post to tiktok lol!😒😒
cobra kai is such a good show
Speaking of Cobra Kai, Zak reminds me a LOT of Daniel LaRusso. No only in how he looks but also in his philosophy. I wonder if there's a Johnny Lawrence dog trainer out there teaching the 'balanced' approach to dog training.
Zak and Bree are so pawfect together.. love you guys xx
“Thumbs up for Bree” I clicked the button soooo fast! I love her!
These episodes are really helpful, especially for new pet parents 🧡
Dont normally comment on Zak's videos nor read the comments, but I just had to today. Moira is cool and all, but Zak's shoe game is on point. Always on point!
Oh noooo! I missed episode 2! Can't allow that! Have a 10months GS and 😱 looks like (ughhh forgot Zack's new pup trainee lol) . Anyway be back later to watch ep 3. Feel like I am officially the trainer in my house (without asking btw) 😳😰 so this is super valuable to me.
I really needed to see this video today; My rescue dog had an over threshold moment this morning that resulted in me in tears in my apartment because I felt like it was such a massive setback in the moment; She didn't know anything in October when I adopted her and now she's generally SUPER well trained, her only vice being other dogs at the apartment complex [The shelter said that she was dog friendly. She is not.]
She's come so far this at at well but it's really embarrassing to have my dog bark and lunge and growl and hackle. It had been a while since she had a moment like this but we were also caught off-guard [never leaving the house without counter-conditioning treats again, not even for 30 seconds apparently lol!!]
Thank you for your fantastic videos!!
Who else was so intrigued by the drone footage?? Love the series but that was kinda cool!!
Zak, this is the kind of video series that we are looking for all this time. Thank you for leading us in the way of training our dogs.
Reassuring to hear that having a dog focused on one toy is a positive. I find my boy (3 yr old GSD) is very easy to train with treats but with his coveted red ball he is SO hyper and excited about it, his focus is 100% on the ball and not on me. I am trying to transition away from treats but I find he can't learn new tricks with the ball because he is soooo jacked up. This is going to be a challenge but glad to hear it is not insurmountable!
Zak, thanks for publishing this series. It's easily the most instructive set of videos you've done. And it's beautiful for us because 1) Moira is so like our recently deceased Reina who passed away in her sleep at 10 years and eight months, also a German Shepherd, also adopted at approximately eight months, and 2) we just took on a Malinois pup, Saki, who's between 7 and 10 months old and displays a lot of Moira's behaviour "traits" - I don't want to say "problems" but you know what I mean! Sure Saki is going to be an absolutely fantastic dog, with training, patience, and love. This series is a year old now, is there any chance you can post an update with Moira's progress?
Your hard work is paying off! She’ll be so happy in her furever home all thanks to you.
This is literally my dog from looks to behavior, thank you so much really useful tips. Definitely buying your books!😄
Only just starting this episode but THANK YOU for making this series. I love your videos and have used them to train my rescue dog but THIS SERIES is the reality for lots of rescue dog owners. It gives real insight and perspective into how to to train problem behaviors in real life!
Thank you 🥰🙌
Thank you Zack! & Bree! Thank you thank you thank you! Great videos me and my wife Kristina are training a 9 week old colley with your guys help along the way,!!
This new series is excellent.
My wife and I bought a standard Goldendoodle puppy back in September, and while we've done a decent job training him so far, he still has some of those bad puppy habits.
He's a great dog... he loves everyone and every dog he sees, but at 9 months his manners aren't quite there yet. Barks, doesn't always come when called, lots of hard puppy play biting that leaves bruises, pulling when walking, etc.
We don't have any kids, so he's our baby and want him to have the best life possible, which means proper training, so I can't wait to see what else this series presents. Great content as always!
I just want to leave a comment.
This channel is AMAZING....
I got my puppy a bit earlier ( only 4 or 5 weeks old ).now he is almost 3 months old.he still bitting like crazy. BUT..thanks to what I had learn from here he already know 5 tricks. Sit,down,high and low 5,roll and almost got the fecth.....
Its almost time for his last shoot.
Now the real walking begins.THANK YOU GUYS SOO MUCH.
I swear every time I'm watching your videos I'm like nah this wouldn't work with my pup she's a disaster... let me try it and BAM it works! She learned leave it in seconds with the method you used with Moira I have been at it for like a month. It felt like magic. Now I'm reinforcing her to it but it has already made a world of difference with her walks! No more wrestling to get unknown tissues out of her mouth. Thanks!!
I hope this particular series of videos become the most viral dog video/series seen.
Me too!
@@zakgeorge Yeah because there are millions of videos that teach you how to train a dog from puppyhood, where people can just edit and trim out the bad parts - probably already prime the puppy beforehand so they appear good on video, but this series really helps illustrate the hard parts.
Love this series so much. I cant wait for the next video to come out. Working on my rescue at the moment who has significantly less issues than Moira so its reassuring that if she can do so well he can.
This man should see my rescue dog. Very similar behaviors, plus food, crate and human aggression... he’s just smaller so it’s easier to manage certain things... training him with professionals got rid of human aggression but took lots of work... we didn’t give up yet tho!
I have a 5 month old German Shepard and I am loving the new series. All your videos are super helpful, but the latest episodes are so relatable. I watched the Kona series and found myself wondering how she was so attentive and quick to listen (particularly when out and about!), so it’s great to see how you adapt to training with Moira in situations where she is not as responsive straight away. Thank you for showing that training is not always straightforward!
Kona is pretty perfect 😂🙌
My husky is so stubborn and she doesn't like anything balls,water other people but I am trying thank you for the vids!
My weimeraner girl was like this her entire life. I loved it; I could walk with ppl and their dogs and never was there any issue with any of them; just a pack of dogs all doing their own thing while we all chatted.
I have a stray husky year and I half almost two year old rescue I found in December. He likes to freak out dig holes jump up bite lounge be aggressive with other dogs barks non stop picky kinda an ass likes to run off and not listen huge escape artist but dudes smart he knows how to sit come lay follow leave it if it’s in my hand but the minute we go outside I no longer exists
@@AlondraPerez my current dog is 13months old and was like your dog. My solutions would not be approved of here, but my dog is fantastic now. No lead, no collar and no drama. She brings so many ppl joy at my local park.
@@WollongongSkyWatch hopefully Oliver “ my rescue” improved with this I really don’t want to pay 600 for training classes if I can do it
@@AlondraPerez do all you can to avoid hefty trainer fees. Remember, most dogs given up or dumped to become strays, have had owners that are unwilling to train the dog. Owners are too focused on being liked by their dog. Dogs simply don't think that way.
I adopted a puppy last June that has ended up being a very difficult pup to handle! He's very reactive to a lot of things like Moira is, struggles a lot with impulse control, and has a very high prey drive. I see so many similarities between them; these videos have been so helpful and insightful. I really related to when you said that every time you feel like you take a few steps forward, you and Moira seem to end up taking a big step back. I was recently really discouraged in my training with my dog, but this has given me a lot of hope and motivation to keep working with him. I'm looking forward to the other videos in this series, thank you Zak for taking on Moira in order to help her fit into a home, but also for providing access to such helpful content.
I just took in my family’s two lab mixes and they went from having their own backyard and very quiet house to live in, to being in an apartment with plenty of dogs and people making noises and scents. Seeing you be so positive in the face of Moira barking and pulling has been invaluable to me learning how to train my doggos to perform at a higher level in the face of these distractions. And your relentless positivity and focus on what your dogs do right, even when your dogs get difficult has helped me lead my own dogs and have a much better time training them than a no/punitive approach.
One thing I admire about your training is that you're great at teaching play and fetch. My dog and I don't play very well together. He'd do backflips for me if I have food to reinforce his behavior, and will fetch for his dinner, but a tennis ball or tug is not intuitively very exciting to him. I have a show line lab coming home in November/December, and I'm excited to build up tug and fetch skills as a puppy with the genetics to fuel his drive. I was pleased watching this play and fetch session with Moira.
Intently watching Zack and Bree transform Morah. Loving it!
Unable to comprehend how many dogs lives you two will save with this series. ✌🏻
thats what I've been working with for 4 years now, with my boy. only that my dog is absolutely not food motivated. and pretty much everything is over threshold :/
really looking forward to this series to find small points to improve
Sammy is similar to Moira when dogs go past. Our communication is really great in other areas of our training! We are trying to get communication around dogs completely without force it takes longer but I want Sammy to learn not avoid the behaviour.
Maybe LAT (Look At That) Training might give you some helpful ideas
@@m.z.593 There is no way he will look at me (he knows LAT) when he sees a dog.
@@heartstopperverse oh okay. So one thing you could try is increasing distance maybe if you ask somebody to work with you, you can have them really far away, or if that is still too much, start out with a plushtoy of a dog
This series has been a big help. I have a border collie, German Shepherd, blue heeler mix who has a lot of energy. He is 2 1/2 years old and trained in the basics but struggles with jumping on new people and come when called. I’m looking forward to see how you work through these. Also, Super chewer is an amazing box!!!
Moira is such a good girl! I want to adopt her!
I hope Moira becomes a foster fail. Or that she can stay longer. This is so common and your videos can really help owners and dogs from being given up on and even put to sleep.
Really interested in seeing how this lunging can be managed in real world situations for Moira. My sheltie becomes overwhelmed whenever he sees a bike and it can be still half a block away. He has all the basic training’leave it’ ‘stay’ ‘look at me’ down with no problem when we are outdoors but the moment a bike comes all that is gone from his mind.
I think is this the series everyone had in mind for training difficult dogs before it becomes a bigger problem. Great job Zak, keep it up! Proud of you!
This is the real deal!!! Glued to this series so I can do the work on my Golden.
seeing you work with a nasty chihuahua would be fab!! love the series and how you still upload!
I love this dog at first look, she is so typical GSD, loves a lot of work, serious work, long hours, practice for perfection more than for variety. Loves and tolerates physical connection, could be even a bit tough if it suits the human. She is so attentive what follows next, would do anything to make a human satisfied, loves firm guidance. Anathomically, bowing is not very suitable for gsd. I adore GSD, now I train a BC - totally different story, yet equally exciting and rewarding. You are great teacher Zack and so honnest in this video. About BC I follow you in every move and it works perfectly. Thanks
I just signed up for the 'Super Chewer' box from Bark! 🙌🏻 Thanks for the offer and detailing the toys 🥳
Barkbox is life!! Gemma loves getting mail...thinks MY boxes hold the same, looks back at me "what gives!!" *walks of mumbling* "this is unacceptable"😤🐾🐾🤣🤣
I went for a walk in my community today, and my neighbors knew I was dog training from your videos just by walking past me! We talked about how much we love this new series. I’ve got a 6.5 month old pomsky, and I’d swear he’s part wolf with how stubborn he is even after 4 hours of training a day including hand feeding his meals and keeping him on leash all the time. It’s nice to see a dog who’s also stubborn. We moved to a slip lead because our puppy was just not reacting to leash corrections in a harness. Our trainer friend recommended a prong collar, but we figured it would be a good intermediate step since prong collars seem painful and are banned in like 3 countries. I can’t wait to see how you train out leash pulling with a strong dog only using a harness. We’re feeling pretty overwhelmed with leash training after months of positive enforcement only training with the harness and moving to the slip lead. So happy to see the evolution of your channel! The strong shelter dog is definitely an untapped training source on TH-cam; you’ve struck some serious gold! The shelter dogs of New Orleans are lucky to have you!
Wha are you handfeeding?
We hand feed his kibble as training treats, so he has an extra 2 hours a day, one in the morning and one at night of training practice
@@emilyraney9515 And have you thought about that your dog might be so hyper because you entertain him too much throughout the day instead of too little? Puppies sleep around 20 hours per day, grown dogs around 18 hours - so maybe he's not getting enough rest? My 6 months old pup definitely is super hyper if I don't give him enough time to sleep throughout the day... just a thought :)
Also have a pomsky puppy. Very stubborn, especially with the going into the garbage cans. Whines a lot. They have so much energy, she tires me out. She can nap for a while but as soon as someone gets up she’s right behind us and stops napping.
what a well timed video. this is exactly what we've been experiencing with our new rescue. when that prey drive kicks off for him he goes right over threshold and it's been so overwelming for me and my family. it's sent my anxiety a little out of control where im worried that if im not watching him every moment even when he's just sleeping in the crate that something terrible will happen... its really good to see someone honestly talk about what those moments are like and how they can affect you
What a gorgeous dog! I have a 10-month-old male GSD and as a result of watching this video, tomorrow he will start his training to learn to shake. Liked and subscribed!
I just love when Zak says "I will train this dog" it just gives me so much motivation 💯🙌
Btw I downloaded his Pupford app, and you should too, it helps a lot, and I'm so grateful that it's free!
Thank you Zak! ❤
I love this new series! My puppy is super high energy dog too, so this is perfect. Also, I missed your live due to time difference as I’m based in Japan😭😭😭 Please announce 2-3 days prior to your next live so that those living outside the states won’t miss it😭Thank you!!!
Well! Hats off! For making that series. That's so so real, i mean I could actually relate to every single moment coz that's what my dog does (who's a german shepherd too) Have been struggling with such issues and Voila! This series came like a life saver. I'm like actually following along and yes, some improvements are visible! Thank you so very much for this!! #gratitude #Blessings
so fun to follow along your journey of watching you train Moira! Boy does she look like real piece of work 😬😂 I definitely believe you can help her 100% become the best doggie to adopt ever!!
I'm loving this series! I'm practicing this with my 10 year old dog. 💕 Thank you so much! When is next episode coming?
I learn a lot when I watch you thanks for the great videos
Wooo episode 3 came earlyyyy yayy!! 🤩🤩
perfect episode for me! I've been really trying to teach my dog fetch, drop it and 4 on the floor!
Thanks Zac for doing this series and consistently posting such honest videos. Keep up the great work!!
Inertia and Moira are beautiful dogs - I'm in love!
Indy too ❤
I love this! It's really helpful. I was wondering if after this series, you could also work with a dog breed that isn't as "smart" or as "biddable" as a Doodle, German Shepherd, or a Border Collie? For those who have stubborn pups lol :'D
These are the problems I've been trying to conquer with my dog, thank you so much for the video.
I so love these series, such an accessible way to learn how to be decent dog owners. Not to mention Zak and his LOLs : D You guys are excellent!
I am getting a labrador in 2 days and I have learnt a lot about training from your vids. Thanx😊
This is SO good. Our girl is a 10-month-old Treeing Walker Coonhound who goes "over threshold" with a couple of triggers: when we're in the car and stop at our destination, and when there's another dog who remotely looks like it's considering possibly maybe thinking about sort of playing. She's manageable, but unbelievably loud, so it tends to upset people. The "look at me" has been really helpful in getting her to calm down and reset. Thank you for showing how you and Moira worked through it!
Moira is great!!!!
I’m super excited! This is my favorite series of yours so far!
